Pioneers needs an i18n update, but Debian is in deep freeze, so only i18n related patches (and security patches) will be accepted.

• Get all patches:

  gawk 'BEGIN { i=1812; while (i < 1844) { print "svn diff -r " (i-1) ":" i " > svn" i ".patch"; i++ }}' | sh

• Review the patches and remove all non-i18n, non-security related patches
• Prepare the repository, go to the moment of the last release:

  svn update -r 1812

• Fetch all updates to the debian packaging:

  cd debian;svn update

• Prepare quilt as instructed in the Debian wiki:

  export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
  export QUILT_REFRESH_ARGS="-p ab --no-timestamps --no-index"

• Prepare quilt:

  quilt push -a

• Apply each relevant patch:

  quilt new svn1819.diff
  lsdiff svn1819.patch | xargs quilt add
  quilt remove ChangeLog
  patch -p0 -i svn1819.patch
  quilt refresh
  quilt header --dep3 -e
    Description: as in the ChangeLog
    Author: as in the ChangeLog
    Origin: upstream
    Applied-upstream: svn revision 1819

• End quilt:

  quilt pop -a

• Add all patches to svn
• Start the release cycle
